Gifford Pinchot’s Grey Towers Heritage Association Seeks New Directors

Gifford Pinchot’s Grey Towers Heritage Association, the nonprofit organization that supports public and community programs at Grey Towers National Historic Site, Milford, Pike County, is seeking new members for its volunteer Board of Directors.

An energetic board with a diversity of skills, experience and interests is the key to the success of this growing organization.

The volunteer board meets monthly at the historic estate and plans its support for such popular programs as the 8K race, lectures, ice cream social, Festival of Wood, Community Appreciation Day, Edgar Allan Poe and Christmas Carol dramatic readings and much, much more.

The organization, formed in 2007, also supports activities at the Laurel Hill Cemetery, on the adjoining Milford Experimental Forest, education programs with area schools, publications and signage and Grey Towers internship and Scholar in Residence programs.

Grey Towers National Historic Site, ancestral home of Gifford Pinchot, eminent conservationist and two-term Governor of Pennsylvania, is managed by the US Forest Service as a conservation education and leadership center.
